Top IGers

I'm seriously into Instagram these days. As per here I post pretty sporadically, but I do try to keep it up to date. Its not that hard to upload a couple of nice ride pictures at the cake stop, or a shot of whatever LP is currently on heavy rotation at the flat now, is it?

And as well as generating content, Instagram also offers insights into the worlds of other like minded people, celebs, bloggers and companies that would normally be hidden. What I like about the app most is that if you edit your feed right, you can basically just end up with a constant stream of whatever-floats-your-boat nice stuff. With this in mind, I've put together my Instagram Top Ten; folks you really should be following, if you aren't already. In no particular order...

1) @fosterhunting

His blog A Restless Transplant records his life as a permanent campervanner and has made him internet famous, largely due to his living-the-dream attitude and stunning photography.

2) @land_boys

Faux-letterpress and cursive type and lashings of pseudo-occult and mid-20th C. American iconography. This graphic design duo/studio are really killing it. I can (and do) scroll through their feed for ages.

3) @rapha

Probably no explanation necessary. Lots of lovely product and road cycling shots. Also keeps you up to date on new releases, events and offers.

4) @nigel_cabourn

Very occasional glimpses into the world of the vintage inspired über-designer.

5) @anotherfeather

Something to do with the fey-gatherings magazine Kinfolk I think, slash jewellery designer. Consistently beautiful feed which is worth scrolling through and through.



6) @johnprolly

The pre-eminent online bicycle journalist/photographer behind Prolly Is Not Probably. Lots of lush content.

7) @ultraromance

This guy. Must have space in his basket for a nice camera too.

8) @gearthereeverywhere

Jacket obsessive.

9) @rigobertouran

Yes, that Rigoberto Uran, the ex-Team Sky pro-cyclist. Of all the 'pro's' I follow on Instagram Uran is the most active, but its also worth looking up Wiggins, Froome, et al.

10) @pastoral_review

Obvs. If you wanna be IG friends, drop me a line on there!
